Life on the West Side

A Gifted People

June 12, 2023 • Nathan Guy • Season 2 • Episode 81

God gave signs to confirm his message. Does God give to his church today gifts to encourage and strengthen them, to help defend his message and make it known to those within and without that the gospel of Jesus is true? The answer is a resounding “yes!”

The sermon today is titled "A Gifted People." It is the eighth installment in our "Community" Series. The Scripture reading is from Acts 2:43 (ESV). Originally preached at the West Side Church of Christ (Searcy, AR) on June 11, 2023. All lessons fit under one of 5 broad categories: Begin, Discover, Grow, Learn, and Serve. This sermon is filed under DISCOVER: A New Community.
